Hi!

Whenever i drink alcohol i get a blotchy red itchy rash usually on my neck and it spreads if i drink more and it lasts for a couple of days.

Jus wondering if anyone has any information about this?!

Hi,

Yes- I understand. Alcohol increases histamine and some people (including myself naturally carry a higher histamine level due to severe allergies)- so adding anything that increases histamine can cause this reaction. I stopped drinking because with just one drink- I would turn very red in the face and hands and my face would feel extremely hot.

Hope this helps to answer your question.
